Fundraise for NASS

NASS is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people with axial SpA. NASS doesn’t receive any statutory funding. We rely on your kindness and generosity, and other people like you, to help us transform the diagnosis, treatment and care of people with axial SpA and help more people live well with the condition sooner.

Donate to the NASS Winter Appeal

Thank you for your interest in fundraising to support people with axial SpA.

Whatever you choose to do, every penny you raise will help support people with axial SpA. Thank you.
